Here you ride down to the ferry. At the landing stage, there is no infrastructure at all except for a small tree that provides shade for 2 people. The ferry commutes. In the worst case, you might have to wait 15 minutes.

rarely used road with very good surface. Top route. Arneburg is a pretty little town.

Unlike other Elbe ferries, the ferry is not susceptible to low water. Journey time is approximately 5 minutes.

Quiet route, rolls well through open fields, but susceptible to wind.

The cycle path alongside the road rolls well, no root damage and, in my opinion, preferable to the road when there is traffic.

Havelberg is the smallest of all Hanseatic cities and boasts a very well-preserved town center. It's not ideal for a road bike due to the cobblestones, but I didn't regret the 5-minute detour from the Elbe Cycle Path.

Truly impressive as you approach Wittenberge. The bridge has a truly monumental quality, yet blends well into the landscape. It has recently been reopened to cyclists.
